Other Small brown dots on the underside of leaves are normal — these are new plantlets, not disease. Also available in several cultivars: Windelov, Needle Leaf, Petite, Narrow, and mat/mounted formats.

Care & Planting: Attach the rhizome to driftwood or rock with thread or glue — do not bury it in substrate, which can cause it to rot. Propagate by cutting or pulling apart the rhizome into sections.
